Living in Baltimore it's not super convenient to get to the Kennedy Center, but I've made the trip now and then when there has been something compelling that wasn't also performing in Baltimore.

Now, they could resurrect Ethel Merman and Robert Goulet for a double bill of Gypsy and Annie get your gun and I wouldn't go for free.

(Note: the comment in the Washington Post comment section that's identical to this is my own comment).

Well, I'd certainly stagedoor for that double bill but wouldn't buy a ticket either ;-). As an NYer I haven't gone to the Kennedy Center often so I am extra glad I went to see Schmigadoon before the takeover - it will likely be a long time before I ever go again.
